  • Pannier mounting system
    Patent number: 9428234
    Abstract: A pannier mounting system enables a pannier container to be quickly and easily attached to and detached from a rack of a bicycle, motorcycle, or the like. In an embodiment, the system includes a rack attachment bracket that attaches to the rack, a first pair of connectors attached to the bracket, and a second pair of connectors attached to a side of the pannier container. Each of the first pair of connectors includes a magnet, and each of the second pair of connectors includes a magnet. Attraction between magnets of the first pair of connectors and magnets of the second pair of connectors cause the first and second pairs of connectors to align with and connect to one another when brought within close proximity to one another, thereby attaching the pannier container to the bracket. A pannier release handle is used to detach the pannier container from the bracket.
